Gucci S/S 07 Milan

[gia0202]

regardless of the era of the dress' shape---they areall empire waisted, highly architectural. a differnt take on teh muumuu trend. its stilla triangle--except the flare adn widthe at hte end of the longer dresses is created by those tunnel things--what are they called again??--- i think she figured--let me stick with thsi shape, encorporating the forties(which frida has been working on for a bit--as evident in teh fall collection) and then mixing it with something besides the 70s--- the broadened, inverted triangle tops are great cuz its a new way to ook at androgyny---i thin kthis is her trying o warm the audience up to something new---make gucci wearable, fresh, yet classic---all over again.

even the folklore prints are architectural in style. and there is something sorta samurai about the cut of the jackets--its not straight forties... its the same sort of mishmashing evident in the arc jacobs show, prada, and even burberry.. can't wait for chanel

 

[dizzytacks]

this as a cruise collection is cool, but as a spring RTW...

 

[mimiko]

I think this collection is terrible

 

[susie_bubble]

Very very hotch potch.... there are some pieces which are great individually but altogether looks very very confusing.

I can't deny this will sell well though. It's not repugnant. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me!

i love the wwd review, exactly my feelings.

i can't really relate to this collection.....everytime i see it, i just go: ok, i can get cheaper version of this or that somewhere else, why bother about gucci? it's just nothing special in there!!

 

[ialmrnt5]

Am I the only one who thinks this line doesn't look in tune to the Gucci aesthetic Tom Ford established at all?

 

[lemeray]

I like some of the dresses especially the one Irina wore, but the rest is too excessive in prints and shape.

 

[tctra]

Geez! Gucci has really gone to the dogs hasn't it

 

[zvezdana]

there are one or two pieces that are stunning IMO, and I love the strong palette... it's so sexy... but over all, there's no continuity. it's eclectic in a bad way. bah.

i love love love this particular dress though:

I adore it!

 

[Blanche DuBois]

Well I adore it
I don't mind what WWD has to say, I think Frida is being very smart about what she wanted to reach, a less frightnening image of a sexy woman, sexy but less hard, and I can see this totally,
these dressses works for all kinds of woman, of course you're gonna have to like the purple red combination, but I never thought of it, until Frida put it out, and now I'm thinking I can wear some of this clothes...

I think I always can find a cheaper version, except for some few designers, but this is Gucci not Mc queen...

I'm really disappointed - not the frst time!
But I'll check once again later. to me it's very 60s-70s, the color mix is bad (black, red & purple = herk!), I feel a Russian doll spirit, too. finally : a mix of everything that gives absolutely nothing!

 

[pinnie]

i dont like this collection
It should be better than this.

 

[mariemaud]

This is definetly Frida finding a balance between Gucci's sex and her own taste. Love what I see so far!

agree ! think it's exactly why I like it so much...

it's indeed something very annoying when you have a mix of everything that gives nothing, and it's what I can blame the more about fashion designers but it wasn't the feeling I first had for this collection...

 

[make_me_whole]

frida absolutely do it right.i love this collection,especially the one on irina.but i wont deny that there are so pieces are just awful.but however i love frida's design.

 

[high maintenance]

I miss gucci so much, I don't know what to say, its just not the same. I want tom ford back, its just not the same....

 

[Erin]

Look at the COLORS! A little too busy for me, some of it... but I very much enjoy admiring the pieces from afar.

i think wwd is underestimating thsi collection. i think it falls right in with Gucci--- jsut a more femme version. honeslty--i am tired of all the hardlined, hyper sexed, masculine clothes that Gucci had for so long. that crap got TIRED. this is whimsical, flirty--but still very much-- Gucci. it will just take some time for peopel to get used to a gucci headed by a woman--that shows it. the only other colection i loved was the fall one from 2005 with all the indian influences---cuz it was feminine. i am really tired of boys designing clothes for 'women' /men

Agree ... Tom Ford has nothing to say about me ... this collection may not be my cup of tea, but I don't find it offensive ... Tom is just nasty.

The construction/lines look much better here than in Frida's debut collection. Not really sure how last fall's was cut as I had to shade my eyes from all that gold 80s hooker crap
